3089 Danforth Avenue: A Vibrant New Community Hub in Oakridge, Scarborough

Welcome to 3089 Danforth Avenue, a visionary development by Kayra Holdings in the heart of the Oakridge neighborhood, Scarborough. Our proposed 7-storey mixed-use rental building, designed by the talented team at Caricari Lee Architects, is set to redefine urban living in this charming community. Join us on a journey through the exciting details of this project, from its prime location to the impressive amenities it will offer.

A Seamless Integration into Oakridge

At Kayra Holdings, we believe in responsible development that aligns with the character and needs of the community. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve submitted a Site Plan Approval application to the City of Toronto for 3089 Danforth Avenue. The great news is that our proposal adheres to the allowed zoning regulations, eliminating the need for a Zoning By-law Amendment.

This exciting project will feature a stunning 7-storey apartment building with a commercial space at grade, thoughtfully designed to enhance the neighborhood’s charm and convenience. The site itself is located on the south side of Danforth Avenue, just east of Victoria Park Avenue. In addition to offering a dynamic living space, our development has a broader vision for the neighborhood.

Infrastructure Enhancements for a Better Community

To create a seamless and enhanced urban experience, our project will contribute to vital infrastructure improvements in the area. The City of Toronto is planning a 3.5-meter widening of Danforth Avenue and a 1.17-meter road widening of the rear laneway. These enhancements will not only accommodate our development but also benefit the entire community by improving traffic flow and accessibility.

Amenities That Elevate Living

We understand that a community is more than just buildings; it’s about the quality of life it provides. That’s why our proposal includes both indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, strategically placed on the 7th floor and the rooftop. Residents will have access to a total of 65 square meters of indoor amenity space and 66 square meters of outdoor amenity space, designed for relaxation and community bonding.

Efficient Parking and Sustainable Transportation

Parking is often a concern in urban developments, but we’ve got it covered. Access to the parking area will be from the rear laneway, ensuring smooth traffic flow. We’re proud to provide 21 parking spaces within a modern parking stacker system. Additionally, we’re promoting sustainable transportation by offering 22 bicycle spaces, encouraging residents to embrace eco-friendly commuting options.

Perfectly Positioned for Convenience

3089 Danforth Avenue boasts a prime location that offers residents unbeatable convenience. Victoria Park Station is just a 5-minute walk away, providing easy access to the TTC subway system. For those looking to venture further, the Danforth GO Station is a mere 18-minute walk, making regional travel a breeze. TTC bus routes along Danforth Avenue connect seamlessly to Main Station, while other routes run north-south along Victoria Park Avenue, providing extensive public transportation options.
